Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?
jad replied to mvp 78's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
JBJ finally traded. Now, if we can just get rid of Boggaerts and Devers, maybe dump Sale and Eovaldi, we'll have close to the team Bloom dreamed of having in Tamps. We also won't be troubled by having any fans in the ballpark. -
Right. And Agon? One of the most consistent modern players--put up almost the same numbers with the RS as everywhere else. (But ... well ... he didn't ... as they say ... 'fit in' ... I mean ... you know ... I'm not racist ... no one is in Boston ... but ... jes' sayin' ...)
-
I thought you said these games were meaningless. ????
-
But not being able to get through an inning of a ST game against what is often a pick-up line-up? That doesn't strike me as meaningless. Maybe they should adopt the "over the fence is out" rule as well.
-
But hey, this year, the RS can use the 'mercy rule,' as today. That should make up for other small things--like the fact that they got rid of their best players.
-
So Richards calls for the Mercy Rule to end Inning #1?? cool! As long as the Sox can do this all season, they should be fine.
-
Don't forget, in these political times, it is impossible to say anything outrageous enough to be recognized as ironic.
-
Jenson, Jerry Casales, George Scott, Rice, Schiraldi, JBJ, Devers
-
(Once again, my rapier-like wit, honed on irony, blunted by the whetstone of the world.)
-
I don't know. I don't think things are quite that clear yet. But that's just my opinion.
-
(I was actually responding to your very words: "Dissing Henry is not winning me over in any way". Which I and I assume others would interpret to imply: 'there are arguments that COULD win me over')
-
As for winning someone over, NO ONE in the history of sports boards or social media generally, has ever advanced an argument that changed anyone's mind about anything, nor has anyone advanced an argument that was intended to do that.
-
5GGOF75 wasn't being ironic? (This discussion is way beyond my pay grade. I mean, resetting is nice, just like making out to no particular purpose was nice in high school--although I don't remember thinking WOW! in four years, I might be doing the same thing again.) I just hope one day to have an owner or GM who thinks: damn, I want to win and entertain my fan base: THEREFORE I will find and sign the best players I can.)
-
I hear Tebow is available.
-
Not if you're a sailor!!
-
I hear the Dodgers are pretty good. (But then, you can't really expect small market teams like Boston to compete.)
-
yeah, why would we want the inconvenience of fans?
-
That would be SOCIALISM!!!!
-
Correct.
-
That's what I hoped for too. But when the power goes out here, the roar from generators is everywhere. (These things could be made quieter--look at cars! But everyone seems to be of the opinion that since their neighbor's generator is loud, their own must be louder.)
-
I've got one. But they aren't quite as easy and convenient as one might think. E.g., you can't really leave it running 24/7--you'll burn up propane uselessly, and unless you have a soundproof bedroom, you'll get no sleep. (But it's a lot better than not having one, and surely a lot better than a portable gas one.)
-
Harpswell (or I will be there in a month or so).
-
Cool! What about water? I suppose if you live on Sebago, you can just lug it or pump it (surreptitiously) from the lake. I cut my own wood too, but since I don't winter there anymore, a couple of cords of spruce and birch blowdowns usually does it.
-
Sure. Because you need a well pump to run water. Gravity kept the compost from flying upward into my butt! 35 years in Maine? Pah! That means you're an outsider. I have more than 70, and I still don't qualify as a local. (Where in Maine, btw?)
-
I have one too. That's how I heat my house. But it doesn't do a thing for light or hot water.
